I think of Opel as part of my childhood. My father had a green Opel Manta(mk 1) with beautiful white seats. How I wish I had it now. I would love nothing better than to see them reintroducing the Opel Manta and GT in electric form. Now that Opel are gone from GM it would be great to see them becoming more inventive. But how much intellectual property have they been left with? Anyone know? Or are they now just a brand and a set of factories?..

[@TheLightMyFire]

But it went tot the french. Opel is a simple car that just works. It was a combination of american simplicity with german common sens. But now with the french it is going to be cheap and expansive and complicated to repair.

They have been bought out by Peugeot as far as I know, but I'm also wondering about what you mentioned here.

[@stevemccormack9948]

@@MrDarkHorseWM Yes, they were bought by PSA. Actually, now the new Opel Mokka has inherited the front grill and bonnet appearance of the 70s Manta - to my delight. Its already so popular that its sold out even before the launch.

[@prowat1185]

It's same for me. My family is buying only opels since 1950's. The one that has the most sentimental value for me is the 5th one, bought brand new astra in 2002. I was born in 2006 and literally everywhere we have driven only with this car. Every summer, every year driving to other countries living awesome adventures. Everyday getting pickup at school. Always getting the hard work done with big wagon trunk. Amazing memories of my father trying to race sports cars at stoplights, and full on gas 5k rpm trying to overtake mustangs on highways. 😁 Drifting with my mother on empty parkings with open windows in winter when there is no traction. Always fixing the car together with my father listing to music and thinking together how to fix the problem. I could literally write book about this car it's been my whole life with me. Actually it's still staying strong in front of my window just waiting for new adventures, waiting for me to get the drivers licence 😎.

4 times Opel Zafira, 1.9CDTI 150PS, 1.9CDTI120PS, 1.7CDTI125PS, 2.0T OPC 240PS. Only vehicle from Opel that deserves my attention is Zafira, well built, enough space inside, easy to enter for tall guy, practical, and not expensive to own, exept OPC model, that one is expensive to own but a lot of fun. Next one will most likely be new Zafira, but I am holding on. New Zafira is bit to heavy, I want 230+PS and FFS there is no automatic trunk doors. I am holding only due to these two huge issues. If they do not correct it soon, could be Ford S-max coming to my drive way.

My dad owned an Opel Kadett 1.2S which he bought new in 1979. The car arrived with the Berlina trim which was quite special back then. My dad had owned the car for 32 years and gave it up when it became too costly to maintain due to unavailability of spare parts for the model. It was a fantastic and sturdy car not to mention with modern design and features at that point in time.
